“Blue Fin offers the most beautifully prepared always fresh and delicious Japanese food. I have traveled to many countries including Japan and have never tasted better. The owners and staff are pleasant and helpful also. I really never order sushi etc. anyplace else.“

“Of course the sushi is amazing. However the service was extremely slow and it was really awkward both my partner and I ordered and my partner got her food 20mins before me and I didn't even get all my sushi I ordered at once. It was one dish at a time“

“This place is special to me. My first day in town my apartment wasnt ready and I slept in the car. I was pretty down about other things going wrong that day and came here for food. Was my first and so far best meal id had living in this state. Such a great feeling in an unfamiliar city.

Ive been going back multiple times ever since cause I adore everything about this place. From its tiny lobby to its delicious katsu sauce. Thank you guys, for keeping me fed and happy on cold dark nights. Your food helped me a lot with getting through tough times.“

Just everything about it was how other restaurants should act and be. Definitely go give this a try. Ignore the lower reviews.“
